During the officer-involved shooting in South Austin, my husband acted bravely to protect others at the scene and was injured in the process. He was struck in the shoulder, and while he is expected to recover, he now faces several weeks of healing and won't be able to work during this time.

He has always been the type of person to help others, whether it's stopping to assist someone with a flat tire or, in this case, stepping in to protect those around him during a crisis. His selfless actions have left a lasting impact on our community, but they have also brought significant challenges to our family.

As a small business owner, my husband will be unable to work for the next few months while he recovers from his injuries. This means our main source of income is on hold, and we are facing mounting medical bills from the emergency room and ongoing recovery. With a mortgage to pay and children to care for, the loss of income and added expenses have put a strain on our family. We are doing our best to support each other and stay strong, but we need help to get through this difficult period.

We are reaching out for support to help cover our monthly bills and medical expenses while my husband recovers. Any contribution will help us keep our home, care for our kids, and focus on his healing. Thank you for considering helping our family during this time. Your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express.
